I Am Sovereign by Nicola Barker

3.0

---

This is a bizarre little piece of fiction. It’s set entirely during a 20-minute home viewing, involving the current homeowner, the real estate agent, the prospective buyer, and the prospective buyer’s daughter. The narrative is increasingly interrupted by input by The Author about the process of writing the story and decisions she made, making this a curious metafiction. I’m sure it’s not to every taste, but I enjoyed it, especially as I’ll be writing my own new novella in a matter of weeks.
